Search Engine Optimization for Local Advertisers

     Search has emerged as the most powerful and successful product of the dot com era. We are increasingly an online society and search is rapidly replacing traditional print methods for finding the way people look for goods and services. In the early days of the Internet, 'pay per click' advertising emerged as a great way for advertisers to reach customers. Major companies with national brands understood this early along with Google and Yahoo and built advertising platforms to take advantage of this trend.   Now local publishers and their local community advertisers can do the same, with our Search Engine Optimization services.

     As the Internet has become ubiquitous, search has become more and more local. Nearly half of all queries have some aspect of location in them. Nowadays people increasingly simply type "service or product" in "location" and they expect to get an answer for exactly that. There was a time, quite recently, when online advertising was the exclusive domain of large companies with massive marketing budgets. That's no longer true. America is made up of small businesses. The vast majority of our economy is carried out by companies who employ less than 20 people. Irrespective of whether those companies are owner operated, branches of larger companies, or franchises, they all operate locally.

     Since people are searching for local products and services online, it makes compelling sense for a local business to promote themselves to Internet searchers who are increasingly, searching locally. That's where we come in.

We get you to the top and we keep you there

     eLocal Listing, LLC, Search Initiatives, Search Engine Optimization subsidiary, is in the business of helping local business generate more customers, by ensuring that those businesses are found at the top of the result sets on the major search engines, when people are searching for their product or service locally. It's that simple. We get them to the top and we keep these businesses there for a low flat monthly fee. Our customers (publishers too) don't have to understand Internet advertising, banner ads or worry about bidded click prices, they don't even have to have a website.   We get their information to the top of the major search engines...and we keep them there.  

How do we do what we do?

     Although to the untrained eye it looks a lot like magic ...what we do is not actually magic. It's a tried and tested process, a combination of technology and local search expertise that gets our many thousands of customers to the top of the major engines. We create carefully crafted Local Business Profiles for the three largest search destinations; Yahoo!, Google and MSN.   We also create a highly optimized business profile landing page which is linked appropriately to other businesses and publishers in our platform.   The results speak for themselves. It takes a few weeks for our listing to work its way into the local indices, but once the optimized listings are in, we typically get a top three placement in one or all of the big three search engines.

     Unlike other forms of online advertising where you pay for premium placement, with this kind of online promotion; it's a first come, first served business model. There are usually only three spots available in the prime real estate at the top of the local search results set for each business activity in each area. Once a company has secured that top spot, it can be very hard to supplant them. That means that as the competition of our customers come to realize that they too should be doing this kind of internet marketing, they will find it's too late; the top spots will have been taken by our customers.
